Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the proposed balcony
- the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking from the proposed balcony to 6 and 10 Wilton Way
What decided it
The proposed balcony would harm both the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the living conditions of adjoining occupiers through overlooking, and these harms were not outweighed by the appellants' personal circumstances.
The harms to character and appearance and to neighbours' living conditions were not outweighed by the appellants' personal circumstances and desire to enjoy the south-facing aspect of the plot.
